Is CPT 93925 an ultrasound?
The provider performs a duplex ultrasound scan of the lower extremity arteries or bypass grafts on both sides. Providers perform noninvasive arterial diagnostic procedures to examine the rate of blood flow and to assess the presence of blockage in the lower extremity arteries.
What is a 93925?
Lower extremity arterial: 93925 — Duplex scan of lower extremity arteries or arterial bypass grafts, complete bilateral study; 93926 — Duplex scan of lower extremity arteries or arterial bypass grafts, unilateral or limited study.
What is the CPT code for arterial Doppler?
93922 — Noninvasive physiologic studies of upper or lower extremity arteries, single level, bilateral (eg, ankle/brachial indices, Doppler waveform analysis, volume plethysmography, transcutaneous oxygen tension measurement).
Does 93926 need a modifier?
If performed in a physician-owned, non-facility setting in which the physician owns the equipment, employs the staff, and performs and reads the study, no modifier is required as this constitutes global billing.
What is the CPT code for PVR?
What is the proper CPT® code for a post-voiding bladder residual ultrasound (PVR)? A. When performing a post-voiding residual urine ultrasound, use CPT® code 51798, Measurement of post-voiding residual urine and/or bladder capacity by ultrasound, non-imaging.
What diagnosis will cover carotid Doppler?
| ICD-10-CM | Description |
|---|---|
| I65.29* | Occlusion and stenosis of unspecified carotid artery |
| I65.8 | Occlusion and stenosis of other precerebral arteries |
| I66.01 | Occlusion and stenosis of right middle cerebral artery |
| I66.02 | Occlusion and stenosis of left middle cerebral artery |
What is the difference between CPT 93970 and 93971?
On codes 93970 and 93971, the distinction is greater than just unilateral or bilateral. 93970 is defined as a complete bilateral study, and as such must meet this definition exactly to be reported. 93971 is a unilateral or limited study, and can be used for a limited bilateral service as well as a unilateral.
Can CPT 93970 be billed twice?
Answer: If venous duplex scans of both the upper and lower extremities are performed, you bill 93970 twice if both are bilateral or 93971 twice if unilateral or otherwise limited. It would not be appropriate to report 93970 when, for example, the left arm and the right leg are imaged.
